CHICAGO, Jan 21 (Reuters) - Following are U.S. expectations for the resumption of grain and soy complex trading at the Chicago Board of Trade at 8:30 a.m. CST (1430 GMT) on Wednesday:

WHEAT - Up 5 to 6 cents per bushel

• CBOT wheat futures headed higher in early moves, following strength in corn and soybeans. A weaker dollar .DXY lent support, theoretically making U.S. grains more competitive globally. But ample world grain supplies hang over the market, capping rallies.

• A winter storm is forecast to bring beneficial moisture to the southern Plains late this week but frigid temperatures it its wake could threaten winter wheat in areas lacking protective snow cover.

• CBOT March soft red winter wheat WH26 was last up 5-3/4 cents at $5.16 per bushel. K.C. March hard red winter wheat KWH26 was last up 5-1/4 cents at $5.28-1/4 per bushel and Minneapolis March spring wheat MWEH26 was last up 4-1/4 cents at $5.66-1/4 per bushel.

CORN - Up 2 to 4 cents per bushel

• CBOT corn firmed on brisk export demand, a softer dollar and worries about potentially stressful hot weather in crop areas of Argentina.

• The U.S. Department of Agriculture confirmed private sales of 150,000 metric tons of U.S. corn to Colombia and another 195,000 tons to undisclosed destinations, all for delivery in the current 2025/26 marketing year that began on September 1, 2025.

• CBOT March corn CH26 was last up 3-1/2 cents at $4.27-1/4 per bushel.

SOYBEANS - Up 8 to 11 cents per bushel

• CBOT soybean futures rose, on track for their fourth daily advance in the last five sessions, as a lower dollar and talks between U.S. and Chinese officials boosted export sentiment and shifted attention from a diplomatic dispute over Greenland.

• Worries about potentially stressful crop weather in portions of Argentina lent support.

• But the harvest of a massive Brazilian soybean crop is under way, capping rallies.

• U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said he had met with Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng, in what he called "positive" talks, adding that his Chinese counterpart had confirmed the completion of an initial U.S. soybean purchase commitment, which Washington has put at 12 million tons.

• CBOT March soybeans SH26 were last up 10-3/4 cents at $10.63-3/4 per bushel.
